probably I know I'm the outsider here, but Maven can do everything any other tool can, but then also a ton of stuff more that none other can, Gradle et al. included: Namely, enabling you to do proper dependency & version management

Good point, but for a Startup I think even that is too low level. I would suggest something like Istio or Lagom (which is built on top of Akka).

Interesting that this reply is voted highest, as it doesn't actually answer the question, but rather suggest to ignore the entire issue.

I think the most important finding here is that woman and men are affected alike, and our opinion that men can drink more (safely) are just false preconceptions.

And check out "Motivation" in xsv's readme (at the end) to understand why it might be a better choice than most other tools suggested here, particularly those that go through Python and sqlight. Also, while I like/applau

Though wouldn't it be far more interesting to compare the latencies at these rates, than the throughput? Roughly similar price and throughput, but very different energy efficiency and possibly latency could be rather significant for qu

While I agree that the quotes you made sound more like marketing than science, antirez has a point here: They might be using GA to evolve a new activation function represented as a GP tree. But that's just my guess. And even so, I am n

Consumers are contravariant in Scala, but producers are covariant. EDIT: Good reference: https://www.atlassian.com/blog/software-teams/covariance-and...

Great post. I would go as far as claiming "don't really mess with inheritance until you have not internalized the principles of co- and contravariance". Might be a bit extreme, but I see no way how you can safely navigate OOP

by fnl 9y ago
Which is only because Java doesn't understand contravariance. In Scala, that problem no longer exists.

The square vs rectangle example is a great one for showing how to not use types at all, IMO. > As a type, this relationship is reversed: you can use a rectangle everywhere you can use a square (by having a rectangle with the same width a

The problem balancing implementation vs ontological inheritance while providing strong type safety is that your language needs to either support defining contravariant types (and you still likely end in a mess, see Scala's eternal disc

Your epigenetic state very much starts off inherited from your parents. Also, it's not just a gene switch, and in fact that probably is it's least relevant role, if any. Rather, and besides being a hereditary factor, it determines

by fnl 9y ago
This view that epigenetics is a gene switch is actually pretty misleading at least, and probably just plain wrong, as recent research published this year has shown. It is far more a structural and inheritance guiding factor, as it was concl

Your answer doesn't seem to address the missing energy, said to be 113GWh, though - which seems the bigger issue according to the report.

I agree - and also to your initial comments on the actual benefits & limitations of word vectors, that I can 100% subscribe to.

Your comment got me interested in this course. However, all I could find about feature engineering there is what you linked to, directly. Given that entire scientific careers, books, and conferences are built around the topic of feature eng

Doesn't matter, that bright future is an Utopia, as you already correctly derived. So the question becomes, how to avoid the opposite, the dark future of extreme inequality that our world is steering into. Which brings us back on track
54.
by fnl 9y ago
I think you're misunderstanding my point. The salary indeed is as a distribution question, and with localized inequality on the rise, this is getting worse every year since around 1973, probably. Beyond that, however, these companies a

Well, those are not really SMEs with high quality jobs either... I'll happily accept your word that Amazon's sweatshops are better than X's sweatshop - but that just makes more shitty jobs...

This article misses the real issue of "the Amazons" of today: The low-wage workers Amazon has built it's empire on (or, the "gig-economy" of others), and the massive scale, legal tax avoidance schemes only companies

As far as we know, Google isn't willing to pay content providers, while Microsoft is. So Bing still has the functionality, but Google not.
